I am really a noob in Silverlight and was just following scott's gutherie tutorial. In his tutorial he was using termarkedtextbox. However when trying to type watermarkedtextbox, my visual studio gives me that error that it can't find watermarkedtextbox. How do I deal with this?

I think I read somewhere that this control was removed from the final release of SL 2.

Oh really? Is there a way to get it back? If that's the case then scott gu's tutorial should update this

Here's what I found by searching for 'silverlight watermarkedtextbox' :

There's an explanation of why the control is not here anymore, and the source code to make your own :)

I've already downloaded the source code and now how do I apply the source code so that I can use this watermark text box?

Simply compile the project and reference the output assembly. Then using a "xmlns" in your markup reference the Control.
